Smart Fortwo Cabriolet

John McElroy, host of the Autoline Detroit TV and radio shows, says the poor transmission in this tiny two-door has hurt it significantly. Others, like Vanity Fair’s Berk, say the design aesthetic has plenty to do with its slow sales. At any rate, rumors have circulated for years that Daimler will shutter the brand, though it continues to produce cars. Here’s hoping the cool-kid association with Jeremy Scott and the Misshapes will help bolster its image.
